The ship is able to fly through the use of [[Allomancy|Allomantic]] [[steel]]. A [[Coinshot]] holds handles that are strapped to the floor and Pushes downwards on a metal plate underneath the ship to take off. Additionally, passengers use [[unsealed metalminds|Southern Scadrian medallions]] that include [[iron]] to reduce their weight, like a [[iron|Skimmer]]. Once in the air, a large fan powered by an Allomantic [[ettmetal|primer cube]] can be activated to keep the ship aloft; passengers adjust their weight with Feruchemical iron to control the ship's altitude. Pontoons with additional fans also drop into place to provide forward thrust and steering. The ship is only intended to hold six or fewer passengers, plus their supplies.{{book ref|bom|21}}
